The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 lawfully safeguards all wild bird within the whole of the United Kingdom.
Whilst removing nests, interfering with roosts, or using harmful methods constitutes a statutory offence under the Act, you are certainly not left unprotected against the challenges of nuisance bird populations.
Delivering specialist avian management within Hengoed, Birmingham Pest Control Co. implements highly successful deterrent and exclusion systems intended to cause no injury at all to protected birds.

Health risks from pest birds in Hengoed
Faeces from pest birds commonly harbour a diverse array of pathogens.
Did you know dried pigeon guano carries salmonella, E. coli, and the agent behind ornithosis? This respiratory infection is spread by inhaling infected dust or handling contaminated surfaces!
Ornithosis is a significant occupational health concern within occupational environments affected by avian infestations.
Did you know that food and hospitality sites, guano contamination brings about strict regulatory compliance in addition to critical health and safety hazards?
Disease aside, guano accumulates incredibly fast throughout gutters, over roofing materials, and near drainage points!
Do you ever spot birds congregating on ledges, parapets, and roof edges before settling? Their untidy droppings also hasten stonework decay, clog gutters, and cause slippery slip hazards on walkways below!
Neglecting avian pests at a Hengoed premises causes worsening structural deterioration, rising guano accumulation, and remediation installations that become steadily more expensive over time.
Irrespective of the bird species, our bespoke interventions help ensure that yourself, your premises, and all occupants stay thoroughly shielded against the health risks associated with birds.
Pest bird species in Hengoed
Wild pigeons and seagulls cause the most visible harm on Hengoed commercial properties, seeking permanent sanctuary on their flat rooftops and edges.
As a recurring nuisance, starlings squeeze into roof voids through much narrower gaps than either of them!
Prior to installing any attachments, our expert specialists thoroughly remove all guano and nest material. This process is vital because dry guano creates significant health risks when airborne, whilst redundant nest material often invites secondary infestations to the treated area.
Below is a typical selection of the diverse avian species we care for on a day-to-day basis.
Feral pigeons
Feral pigeons truly like to assemble in large numbers throughout bustling city downtown areas!
One pair of pigeons rears up to six annual nests. Pigeon populations multiply rapidly on any structure with uninterrupted ledges or vacant roof voids.
As pigeons routinely return to their established nesting and roosting locations, simple scaring measures do not s\ucceed to disrupt this deeply ingrained behaviour pattern.
Successful pigeon management in Hengoed depends on physical exclusion systems that entirely prohibit alighting, thereby encouraging these birds to move to different habitats in other areas.
Seagulls and gulls
Did you notice that herring gulls and lesser black-backed gulls have moved further inland? They are currently nesting successfully across Hengoed and the broader Midlands!
You will find these vocal birds nesting in large colonies on flat roofs, where they display hostile behaviour during their breeding cycle from April until August.
Due because of their higher mass relative to pigeons, gulls need post and wire systems or heavy duty netting rather than the lighter deterrents sufficient for pigeon management.
We adapt each gull colony bird control system for its particular site.
We turn away standard, identical packages. In contrast, we tailor our support and your custom solution around the unique architecture of your roof and the colony size.
Starlings
We recognise starlings as a yearly pest bird within Hengoed.
They enter exposed roof voids through openings far narrower than a pigeon needs, taking advantage of loose ridge tiles, damaged soffits, and split fascia boards.
Imagine the massive volume of faeces and nesting debris a starling roost creates inside a roof space during a single season!
Bird control solutions in Hengoed
Every haven requires careful protection. We design a range of bird control systems, adapting each response to the specific species, the individual structure, and the full scale of the infestation.
We solely recommend solutions after inspecting your premises and evaluating the problem population.
We offer all site surveys at no cost, with no pressure to go ahead.
Bird netting
As a most complete means of avian exclusion, bird netting efficiently protects roof perimeters, open façades, plant rooms, and building recesses to deny birds access to roosting and nesting sites.
We safeguard premises using ultraviolet resistant polyethylene mesh, made to set dimensions, using 10mm mesh for starlings, 50mm for pigeons, and 75mm for gulls.
Can we tension fixings into brickwork, steel, or timber? Yes, using stainless steel anchor systems!
When correctly fitted, netting remains practically imperceptible from the pavement, providing a highly refined and successful avian control method.
Bird spikes
To completely deny landing surfaces, bird spikes are expertly fitted on ledges parapets, windowsills and adjacent areas, pipes, and signage.
These function by turning the landing surface extremely uncomfortable rather than creating a solid barrier to the birds.
How do you safeguard historic heritage and listed buildings unobtrusively? Incredible polycarbonate spikes are the ideal choice for a completely invisible defence!
In industrial or trade settings, stainless steel provides impressive durability, making it the perfect selection when enduring heavy dirt is prioritised over visual appearance.
We carefully review your site’s unique requirements first to suggest the most suitable product.
Bird wire
To simply deter pests, bird wire systems employ tightened stainless steel wire between posts, producing an unsteady landing surface on level ledges, balconies, and roof ridges.
As the discreet deterrent, wire elegantly suits business and civic architecture where appearance is essential, whilst also protecting historic facades where fixing to secure spike or netting systems remains particularly unsuitable.
Providing an almost invisible shield, wire beautifully retains the design of prominent municipal and commercial properties. It effectively protects historic frontages where drilling for spike or netting installations is quite unacceptable.
Bird free gel
To safeguard any specified surface from undesirable avian behaviour, Bird Free gel is applied within a small dish positioned on that area.
Standing a bare eight millimetres in height, it stays completely hidden from humanly visible eyes on the ground, yet the resident bird population will definitely notice its presence.
As birds see ultraviolet light, this smart gel makes for the building seem like it is entirely on fire!
Where infestations are small or medium, we use gentle methods to encourage the birds to move elsewhere.
Bird proofing for vents and entry points
Sparrows and starlings often access roof voids by taking advantage of openings in ridge tiles, exposed soffits, and degraded fascias.
Securing these unprotected gaps demands stainless steel mesh or custom-made vent covers, selected carefully to suit the size and species of invader.
To guarantee complete adherence to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, any exclusionary measures must be planned outside the active nesting season.
